The day after election day, you're probably going to be telling us that 45-55% of the voters were idiots. Today, we can find large fractions which believe all sorts of idiocy (such as "think happy thoughts to help you get pregnant"). Combine that with a press that campaigned against W for his 2 terms while he stopped campaigning after his first and it's surprising that he was at 22%. Today's happy fact, national "income" dropped more during "the recovery" than during the recession.

You replied to me but I really don't know where you were trying to go with this. I assure you, I think way more than half of voters are idiots. ;)

(at least in their capacity as voters)
